If he was really that devoted to God, he wouldn’t have killed 200 people. FUrthermore, in all the religious texts I’ve seen, THOU SHALT NOT KILL came before THOU SHALT NOT EAT WHITE BREAD. Honestly…..

The people in this forum are hypocrites. If you read the bible it states we are all children of God. It is important to note that everyone is redeemable in the eyes of the Lord.

So all prisoners should starve? Good Lord! You do realize some people are in prison for petty crimes? What a crazy mob in here.

We pay taxes and feed people who sit around and do nothing (out of prison). The prison system can only justify itself under the premise of rehabilitation. It is society and the disparity it creates that causes the kind of desperation that leads to crime. It is the consumer driven system we live in today that drives people into the abyss.

Well, where does God say that a murderer has a right to sue for such a ridiculous amount of money? Wouldn’t God just want better food served? How is that justice to pay a terrorist any money at all? I don’t think God would approve, thereby making his lawsuit request hypocritical, no?

They should be allowed to just starve therefore saving the USA plenty of dough. What rights does a prisoner have to food? it is not in our Constituion adpoted in 1776..If i was the President i would begin not serving food of any kind to prisoners. and if you think some of these prisoners COULD be innocent then its just too damned bad.

This is why avoidance of the death penalty fails – you end up catering to society’s lowest like Mr. McVeigh. The only diet he should have consumed was a delicious 10 cent bullet between the eyes.

Their ability to choose their diet, what delightful tobacco products, and sexual behavior the little darlings want, has been curbed because they are there as punishment. The surprising fact is that corrections is not designed to rehabilitate. Society has found that it cannot rehabilitate that which has not been habilitated prior to incarceration. The basic concept of rehabilitation is a paradigm that did not function; thus it is not at the core of the model anymore. The core is to keep this human garbage away from functional men & women, away from families & children….period.
Hundreds of millions of dollars & many decades of experimentation have gone into this conclusion, which MANY of the IMPRISONED know to be the TRUTH!

Public school lunches are similar in the processing and a low nutritional value they offer when compared to prison food. It has been proven that eating this food on a regular basis causes behavioral problems.

Regardless of whether he has committed criminal activity, he has a right to eat healthy–perhaps prisons would even encounter less behavioral problems if prisoners were served more nutritional food. Some have said he has no right to demand certain foods because he is a criminal. So, would you also say that poor children in this country who get free and reduced lunches at public schools don’t deserve more nutritional government-subsidized meals either?

It’s not a question of who wants to eat what and why. It is a question of the quality of food that the government supplies across the board.

While I agree about the refined foods, perhaps he should realize that had he not participated in criminal activity, he’d be free to choose his diet.

Murrah Federal Building, instead of bombing the shit out of it.

As crazy as it sounds, the essence of due process is giving it to everyone, even to people who seemingly don’t deserve it. Too bad that basic concept was lost on the Bush administration and its apologists.

Processed foods are not healthy.
